Reviews

"""another triumph"" -- The Revd Dr Andrew Davison, Church Times ""Kerr's book is an impressive synthetic and philosophical presentation of the Christian notion of creation from Aquinas's metaphysics of esse understood as a distinctive actus of its own.ÂIn conjunction with Kerr's Aquinas's Way to God: The Proof in the De Ente et Essentia (Oxford, 2015), the new work should be welcomed both by Thomists and philosophers of the Analytical persuasion."" -- John F.X. Knasas, Professor Emeritus at the Center for Thomistic Studies, University of St. Thomas ""Kerr's newest study Aquinas and the Metaphysics of Creation has a lot to offer to the reader interested in a philosophically serious treatment of the notion of creation. In a clear and sober style, the book presents us with Aquinas's synthetic vision of creation and the underlying metaphysical principles. It is a rich book, inviting the reader to think along with Aquinas's challenging account of the being of the world and its origin in God."" -- Rudi A. te Velde, Thomas More Chair of the Philosophy of Thomas Aquinas in relation to Contemporary Thought, Tilburg School of Catholic Theology, Tilburg University ""Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality is a pathbreaking work. It is a philosophically astute, textually scrupulous, and imaginatively subtle reconstruction of Ramakrishna Paramhansa's teachings. ... Infinite Reality is a delight to read: clear, accessible, fair-minded and rigorous. Its philosophical charms are complemented by a musicality about experience."" -- Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Vice Chancellor of Ashoka University in India, The Indian Express"
